Probably not, in the same way a "wanted" poster with a photo isn't, assuming proper protocol is followed. (Now if someone reports a find in logs, you can of course ask why they had and looked at those)

The police is not around to enforce GDPR.

Not sure why you feel the need to point that out, I didn't claim that.

I don't get the impression that GDPR will be well enforced against government agencies.
